Recycling
| Recycler | Returns | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Recycler50% back | 1 to 2 Metal Fragments, 0 to 1 Gun Powder | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 1 to 2 Metal Fragments, 0 to 1 Gun Powder | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 2 to 3 Metal Fragments, 1 to 2 Gun Powder | 4s |
A range means the last unit is a coin flip rather than a guarantee: half the recipe rarely divides evenly, and the recycler rolls for the remainder.
Tech tree
On the workbench 2 tree, 17 unlocks in, reachable after Thompson.
No scrap price on the tree itself: every node ships with its cost overridden to -1 and the fallback is not recoverable from the files. The research table price above is a different number and that one is derivable.
